A lot of cheap firewalls are too dumb to get the routing right. When using an 
external IP internally, they get confused. The packet makes it to the router 
that sees the internal network has a packet going out to the external interface 
(it's not on the local after all) and sends it out (if it makes it that far) 
and does not figure out that it's supposed to back in over the other physical 
interface. Smarter routers will figure that out. Cheap ones won't.


Try it from a phone, not on company WiFi.

I use:

$ cmake -DEXAMPLES_CONNECTOR="wt;wthttp"

$ ./test.wt --docroot . --http-address=0.0.0.0 --http-port 10100

And Firewall Stoped:

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

But 143.107.58.177:10100 just work local.

Maybe this is a internal problem here...
